[PHP] Validating form field text input to be a specific variable type
All, I have a form on which the user is supposed to select a variable type (boolean, integer, real, date/time, text) from a select box and enter the default value for this selected variable type in a text box. I'm trying to validate that the default value entered matches the variable type selected i.e. user selects boolean so valid defaults could only be 0, 1, true, false and anything else would generate an error, or the user selects integer and enters 1.7 for the default would also throw a flag. I know that all of the form values submitted from the web page are strings but is there a way to test/convert the strings against the other variable types. I'm sure that I'm not explaining this very well, but for example, if I use the following code I will always get an error displayed even if the user enters a valid value such as 3 in the default field because the form values are always submitted as strings. if ( ($GLOBALS['PageOptions']['Type'] == 'Integer') and (! is_int($GLOBALS['PageOptions']['Default']) ) ) { // display an error } If I use (int) on the form default value then that won't work either because if the default field value entered was not an integer but text such as 'snafu' then the value is always converted to an integer regardless. if ( ($GLOBALS['PageOptions']['Type'] == 'Integer') and (! is_int((int) $GLOBALS['PageOptions']['Default']) ) ) { // display an error } Thanks in advance, Dave Merritt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] To use PEAR::DB or the PHP database functions
All, I've always used MySQL databases and the MySQL functions in PHP for my code in the past. However, I'm now working on a project that I want the project to be able to be database independent so that the user of the project can use whatever database he/she wishes. I'm looking primarily at providing support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server databases. What's the general consensus on how to handle this? Do I need to look at using PEAR::DB so that the type of database is hidden from my code or would I look at writing different include files for each database type and each of the include files use the relevant PHP functions? Or some other totally different way? Thanks Dave Merritt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Recommendations for PHP/MySQl calendar on-line submission/voting
All, I working with helping our local high school technical center set up a web server/site. Went with the typical AMP solution (unfortunately on MSWin though). The center is wanting to add an on-line calendar system. This doesn't need to be anything fancy, just something that will display a monthly view with event titles, a way to provide detail content for the event, and a way for multiple users to add/edit/remove entries. I'm doing some searching for solutions but there's definitely plenty to choose from., so if anyone has any recommendations I'd appreciate it. Also, the school tries to get a lot of community involvement by doing a lot of Name the ... whatever the activity is at time competitions and they are wanting to come up with a way to do online entry submission and online voting/polling of the entries. Obviously I could write this, but was wondering if anybody had any suggestions of existing code to do this.

[PHP] RE: -- OT -- [PHP] How to show autocad (dwf, dwg) files in browser?
Okay, the WHIP viewer is only for DWF files from ACAD 13, 14, 2000 only. It does NOT handle DWG files or DWF from ACAD 2002 based products (Inventor), Volo View Express 2.01 handles DWF, DWG, DXF only if you download the english language version. Non-english versions of VVE will NOT view DWG DXF files only DWF files from ACAD 2002. What version fo ACAD are you dealing with? If it' 13, 14, or 2000 or going to have to use WHIP DWF files. If it's ACAD 2002 and you can use an english language viewer then you can use DWF, DWG, or DXF. If it's ACAD 2002 and your using a non-english viewer then it's DWF only. If you have a site that has a mixture of ACAD versions from 13 thru 2002, or going to have to have to either distinguish between the versions somehow and use the appropriate viewer or you will have to open each file into ACAD 2002 and save each one back into 2002 format. The file format for DWF changed between ACAD 2000 2002. Sucks I know, esp. the english/non-english thing.

[PHP] Closing a browser's child window after user downloads a file
All, I have a page that displays results of a database search. The page contains a select dropdown box from which the user can pick different options including the ability to download an Excel or CSV file of the displayed results. Once the user selects an option from the dropdown, a Javascript onchange method will kick in, submit the form and process the selected option. If the option is one of the file download choices, then using Javascript a new, child window will be opened and the location of the child will be the PHP download script with the file to download. The script in the child window will force the browser's download dialog box to open up at which point the user can save, open, or cancel the file download. The issue that I have is that some browsers (IE6) will automatically close the child window when the user has made a selection from the download dialog box while other browsers (Mozilla) will leave the child window remaining open. I need to either come up with a way to close the child window once the user has finsished with the download dialog or force the download script to not run in a child window. I've thought about applying a timer somewhere but this isn't reliable because of the unknowns of file download time and user response time to the download dialog. I don't have a preference as to whether the solution is all PHP based, all Javascript, or a mix of both -- I just need a solution to close this child window when complete. Code is below. As usual, thanks in advance. Dave Merritt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Javascript code from the parent search results window opening the child window calling the PHP download script: ...

[PHP] Trying to locate an image file name from another site
All, I have a page on our intranet site that is pulling an image from our corporate web server. The corporate server the image I am accessing is beyond my control. The image is generated daily and appears to be named with a timestamp in the file name so therefore the image name changes daily. On my site I have the page to check if a cookie exists with the image's file name. If the cookie is set then the page will create the IMAGE tag using the file name specified in the cookie. If the cookie value is not set then the code will go open the web page on the corporate server, dump the page's content into an array, and then the array is parsed until a known string is found and then the image file name can be pulled out and displayed. Currently the code I have is working. However, I know that it can/needs to be improved but I'm not sure what/how to go about implementing the following improvements: 1) If the image file name doesn't exist go to the corporate web server, access the page, and parse the page contents until we find the image. The problem I currently have is that the page on the corporate site is huge with several hundred lines of html in the page and the image I need to access is closer to the bottom of the page. How do I walk through the contents of the page searching for the image starting further down the page than from the beginning if the page? 2) Is there a better way of trying to find/strip the image name in the page contents than by using the strpos substr functions? If so how? 3) Once I've found the image file name, is there then some way that I can download the image from the corporate site to our local site? If so, how do I do this? If I can download the image locally, then I can rewrite the code to check for the existence of the file locally before going out and accessing the corporate site every time. Code is below. Thanks in advance Dave Merritt [EMAIL PROTECTED] % $Image = $_COOKIE['ImageToday']; $WebLocation = 'http://www.somesite.com'; if (empty($Image)) { $Find = 'IMG SRC=/archive/images'; $PageContents = @file($WebLocation); if (! empty($PageContents)) { while (list ($ArrayNo, $Line) = each ($PageContents)) { $Image = stristr($Line, $Find); if ($Image != ) { $Image = substr($Image, 0, strpos($Image, ' BORDER=0')); $Image = substr($Image, strpos($Image, '') + 1); $Image = $WebLocation . $Image; % SCRIPT type= text/javascript language=JavaScript !-- document.cookie = ImageToday=%echo $Image%; path=/ //-- /SCRIPT A href=%echo $WebLocation% IMG src=%echo $Image% border=0 alt=Some label /A % } } } else { % P class=textUnable to display A href=%echo $WebLocation% class=textimage from site/A! /P % } } else { % A href=%echo $WebLocation%IMG src=%echo $Image% border=0 alt=Some label/A % } % -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
